IMPROVEMENT iN PLow-sTocKs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,556, dated Augustl, 1876 application filed y May 27., 1876.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that we, LEHUEL H. DAVIS andIRVIN AYCOGK, of Morgan, in the county of Calhoun and in the State ofGeorgia, have invented a new and Improved Plow-Stock, of which thefollowing is a specification Figure l is a side view of our improvedplow-stock. Fig. 2 is a top view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a detail frontView of the lower part of the standarchthc beam and brace being shown insection.

The object of this invention is tofurnish an improved iron plow-stock,simple in construction, strong, and durable, not being liable to breakor get out of order. The invention consists in a plow stock formed ofthree iron bars, constructed and combined with each other, and with thehandles, as hereinafter fully described.

A is the plow-beam, which is made of a bar of iron of suitable size,bent into suitable shape. The bealn A, at a little distance from itsrear end, inelines downward and rearward, is bolted to the bar B, andextends downward parallel with the lower part of the bar B, and itslower end is bolted to the lower end ofthe said bar B, to form the lowerpart of the standard. The parallel parts of the bars B A have blocks Dinterposed between theparts, through -which the connecting-bolts pass,to form a space or slot between said parallel parts to receive the boltthat secures the plow-plate in place.' To the beam A, atfits forwardangle, is bolted the forward end of the bar G, which extends back inline with the forward part ot' said beam, and its rear end is bolted tothe bar B, and serves as a brace to the stock. The upper part of the barB is split, and the parts or strips thus formed are bent outward, and totheir ends are attached the handles E. The lower parts of the handlesare bolted to the beams A and bar C at their point of intersection, orare bolted to straps which are bolted to said bars at said point.

By this constructionA a strong and serviceable plow-stock is produced,and one which is also simple in construction and neat in appearance.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Let` ters Patent, is-

rlhe combination of the curved beam A, branched bar B, and rear bar Cwith the handle E, all constructed and relatively arranged as herein setforth.
